Based on legislative and guide line support calculation software changes as well as court hearings set outside our regularly scheduled appearances in Mendocino County Superior Court, the part-time Child Support Attorney’s hours are projected to be 10-16 hours per week, a six hour weekly increase. Child Support Attorney will not exceed 20 hours per week.
Mendocino County Child Support Services is funded by federal and state child support revenue. There is no General Fund ask.
